This information-packed field guide provides a tour of domestic architecture in 110 cities and towns in 17 western states; Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The 172 historic neighborhoods covered contain hundreds of interesting dwellings that can be viewed, without ceremony, from the street -- and almost 200 museum houses of particular architectural &/or artistic significance whose interiors can be visited. The book is organized alphabetically by state, and by cities and towns within each state. There are 700 B&W photographs and drawings and 173 maps. "Here is a book that will be a landmark in its own right."
